#bookreview: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? by Philip K. Dick

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Rick Deckard is a bounty hunter - he hunts down renegade androids who are posing as humans on the devastated, crumbling Earth. The only thing that separates humans and androids, other than a long and painful bone marrow test, is man's ability to feel empathy for others. But what if humans are also "retired" in this process for underdeveloped emphatic abilities? And what happens when the bounty hunter starts feelin...

Blog tour: Cephrael's Hand partial review

I wanted to post a book review as part of the tour, but it seems as if I won't be able to finish the book in time! I'm still less than midway through the book, according to Kobo, and I don't think I'll have the time the rest of this week to finish reading it.





All I can say at this moment, I'm loving the book. It would be a hefty tome in print (642 pages, I think). When I started reading it, I was strongly reminded of Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time, but it isn't as long-winded as him (fortun...

2012: a year in review

I took a screenshot of my stats page today, looked up last year's review and had the shock of my life. Sometime in the frame of 366 days, my blog somehow garnered forty-one THOUSAND page views. How did that happen?

For all my readers, regular or sporadic, THANK YOU SO MUCH. You really made my year!



It really has been a crazy and fruitful year, and I'm not sure how I got through it all. All I can say is thank you, God. And thank you, all of you who have stood by me this year...

 Ean hugged the shadows as he tried to find his way back to
le Comte’s estates. He feared they’d hurt his head worse than he thought,
for the twisting alleys of the city disoriented him now. He was sure h...

#fridayflash: Just a little crush

“So do you think he likes you?” Tasha asked, the nail polish
brush poised in the air.




“I don’t think he does. No, I know he doesn’t,” Ginny replied, following its arch as it alighted
on Tasha’s finger.  Gently, gingerly,
perfectly.



“Of course he doesn’t. Look at you.”



Ginny sighed. She hated it when they got to this point of
the conversation, as they invariably did. Obediently she looked at her torn nails
and ragged cut-off jeans. She realized she hadn’t shaved her legs again, and...

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Muddle

So let's start off this post by saying that I'm somewhat of a purist when it comes to making movies out of books, especially when it comes to what I've perceived of the person's character. I mean, I'm watching the movie because of the book, right? So I would reasonably expect it to be... true to it? Mostly?

That said, I liked the way they started off; the little prelude with Bilbo and Frodo makes sense, in a way, as it ties in the LOTR movies to this one - I suppose this was mainly to provide...

#bookreview: The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson

The Alloy of Law by Brandon Sanderson

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



I picked this up on a recommendation from a friend. Ok, to be really honest, I picked this up because it was on my friend's look-out list and I found it at a book fair, and I couldn't resist peeking. This is the first Sanderson book I've read, and I mainly only know his name from the fact that he's finishing up the Wheel of Time series.



To put it simply, I LOVED IT.

Ok, so it's the fourth book in a series, but this one apparentl...

Merry Christmas!

The interwebs have already been flooded with a plethora of Christmas greetings, so I'll just add mine into the mix. Nothing much especially new or different to say; it's all been said before, and there's nothing new under the sun, right?



May this Christmas bring you a fresh touch of God's great love, a new realisation of who you are in Christ, and a firmer conviction of where you stand in Him.



Be blessed.
